My Beauty Hero For Long-Lasting Nail Polish

Posted on 6. Februar 2016

For a very long time I changed my nail polish what felt like all the time – not because I was bored about the shade, but because nothing lasted more than 2 days (not even Essie) – very frustrating!! Luckily I found a base and top coat combination, which changed my nail polish game and actually allows me to wear the same shade for about 5-7 days, which is an eternity for me. What sounds like an expensive miracle is indeed a bargain from the drugstore.

For Long-Lasting Nail Polish

The base and top coat I’m talking about are the essence «the gel nail polish» base and top coat. They not only help my nail polishes last much (!!) longer, they also give them a shiny gel like look! If you have the same problems I used to have, I’d recommend to give these two babies a try!

Which base and top coat do you use? How long does your nail polish usually last?

I loved these when they came out last summer, I've done a review on its wearing and I got 7 impressive days! But now that I've gone through a couple of bottles of each I can say: The top coat gets sticky and totally gross. I should say while the basecoat helps making ANY nail polish last longer, my nails suffer a lot with it, it has something that dries my nails completely and make them fragile and britle. I have recommended this so much, and now I see that it is not so good to be worn in the long term. I suppose they'll need to reformulate both at one point. Now If I want to go safe I use Mavala 002 basecoat (so good protecting the nails!) and glisten and glow topcoat (this one is Big5free!)
